Q: Can you suggest a couple of low risk Cdn. ETF's with good dividend rates and with a low MER?

Asked by Bill on December 01, 2025

5i Research Answer:

Here are some Canadian ETFs with relatively low risks, attractive yields, and reasonable MERs such as CDZ, VDY, and XDV.
A portfolio of these ETFs may not offer the best total returns for investors, but as a group, these ETFs tend to provide stability and predictability for defensive and income-seeking investors.
